|  |     No, not really.  It helps if you don't use the skins when you
    make the broth, and sometimes it helps to put the broth in a
    gravy strainer and pour off the broth part, but what I usually
    do is put in all chicken refuse and refrigerate the broth.
    
    I also make beef broth from the bones in the various beef
    cuts we eat.  Since we don't have steak or other beef cuts
    with bones all *that* often, I store the bones in a zip-lock
    bag in the freezer until I have enough to make broth.  Then,
    on a nice cool evening, I make up the broth, cool it, and
    freeze it in ice cube trays.  When it's frozen, I dump it
    into a big zip-lock bag and date it.  It's easy to take out
    just what I need that way, and I'm not tempted to go for the
    instant salt-broth stuff when I'm making soups or gravy.

|  |     RE:  CHICKEN FAT 
    
    Use fresh iceberg lettuce in large leaves -- just let it sit on
    top of chicken broth for a couple of minutes and it will absorb
    the fat.  Repeat if necessary.

|  |     If your in a hurry, you can spoon off almost all the fat with a
    tablespoon....Ive done this often....and surprisingly, you can get
    almost all of it

| 300.4 | Grease Mop | CRVAX1::KAPLOW | We'll test it in combat, Scotty! | Tue Jul 22 1986 12:49 | 6 | 
|  |         My wife has a gadget called a grease mop. It is simialr to a
        basting brush, but instead of bristles it has a nylon mop head.
        The fine nylon threads absorb the grease. You dip it around the
        top of the soup till it is full of grease, then rinse it out in
        hot water. Repeat until the grease is gone. She got ours at a
        Crate & Barrel or something like that.

| 300.5 | saving canned broth? | CGVAX2::WEISMAN |  | Tue Jan 16 1990 12:18 | 18 |

    Many recipes call for a small amount of chicken stock/broth.
    
    I would like to know if it is possible to either freeze or
    refrigerate the unused portion once a can has been opened.
    How long would it keep?
    
    I do make my own sometimes and freeze it but this is not
    always possible.
    
    
    Thanks

| 300.6 | freezing is good | CURIE::FERESTIEN |  | Tue Jan 16 1990 14:14 | 3 | 
|  |     Yes, you can freeze canned chicken broth...a good way to do it is
    freeze it in ice cube trays, that way you can defrost a small amount
    when needed!
